4. Mediator substances – cause to attenuate or thicken

(O/Vsometimes gel)

5. Moistening substances – reduce pressure on the surface, increase absorbing capacity

of hair

6. Other substances – protect from over-oxidation, emulsify and scent (cover smell of

ammonia)

7. Hair care substances- supply oily substances to protect hair shafts

The substance penetrates the cuticula and crusts in the scales. At the end of the process of hair

dye, the cuticula shuts down the flow of substances.

The result of hair dye is affected by the natural pigments and the applied colour.
